Fruit and Cookie-Crust Pizza

"I’ve been cooking since I was twelve, and my husband, Bruce, picked it up during a "Mr. Mom" phase after our second daughter was born," writes Renee Davis of Cadiz, Ohio. "We have a great time coming up with recipes together. If he concocts a dish, I’ll taste-test it, and vice versa. Some of our best (and worst) dishes have been the result of enthusiastic experimentation. I used to serve fresh fruit with a cream-cheese-and-marshmallow dip as an easy dessert after big barbecue meals, but we improved on that by adding a cookie crust and ended up with an entirely new dish."

Popular with kids and adults, this dessert pizza is incredibly easy to make. Top with your favorite summer fruit.

I made this with a scratch sugar cookie dough instead of the store-bought for a bunch of kids and they wouldn't touch it. It was "eh" at best.

The marshmallow cream and caramel sauce are overkill. I'll make it again but with just a regular cream cheese frosting (no marshmallow). I'll skip the caramel sauce and just drizzle with sweetened lemon juice to keep the fruit looking fresh.

Super tasty! I made
this with condensed
milk (instead of
marshmallow cream)
because that was
what I had at the
house. I also mixed
crushed pineapples
in with the cream
cheese spread and
used whipped cream
cheese instead of
the traditional.
For fruit selection,
I used strawberries,
tart peaches, kiwis,
and bananas and
drizzled an warm
apricot/pineapple
preserve on top. My
picky mother loved
it!

I don't know how anyone can claim in 2001 that they have an "entirely new dish" when my mom was making this back in '85 - I think she got the recipe from one of those Pilsbury cookbooks, but who am I to judge. Skip the caramel sauce and add a warmed up glaze of orange marlemade to balance out the sweatness. I like to make mine in a jelly roll pan and use strawberries and blueberries for the 4th of July and make a Flag.

Sugar cookie crust is practically good all by itself but when all of the ingredients are added it's pretty good. I could have done without the pineapple and the bananas, but they are nice for color and for taste. It's important to get sweet fruit or ripe fruit unless you like the tangyness or bitterness of unripe fruit. And the caramel isn't necessary.
